Australian National University Professor Joan Beaumont and Australian War Memorial historians Dr Lachlan Grant and Aaron Pegram will tonight launch their new joint publication Beyond surrender: Australian prisoners of war in the twentieth century.

In 2015 the Australian War Memorial has acknowledged NAIDOC Week by commemorating the proud service and sacrifice of Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islander servicemen and servicewomen in times of war.

The Memorial has delivered a number of programs and events highlighting the contributions Indigenous Australians have made to our nation, including gallery talks, wreathlaying ceremonies, and stories from the archives depicting their service.
